Scott Kellogg (US)/ “Sustainable Technologies for Ecological Regeneration”
Workshop, Tou Scene (Loft) September 16th - 10:00 – 17:00
As the trends of climate change and energy depletion converge in the near future, humanity will face the challenge of having to transition into a society based on sustainable principles. It will be necessary for us to drastically reduce our consumption of Earth’s resources, as well as having to recycle our waste products back into natural systems. To those not familiar with its fundamentals, the task of achieving global sustainability can seem daunting and confusing.
In this workshop, sustainability expert Scott Kellogg gives attendees a basic “toolbox” of skills and knowledge usable by anyone wanting to create sustainable systems in their own communities.
Using affordable and simple designs, participants will learn how to build infrastructure for self-reliance by utilizing salvaged and recycled materials. These ecological technologies can be applied in either urban or rural environments, and in many cases can be put to use in even an apartment spaces.
